| Tummy bugs again | there are many cases of tummy bugs on cruise ships but this time it hit one of our Southampton ships the Independence of the seas. This resulted in all 5,400 passengers and crew being evacuated from the boat last Tuesday. The captain decided to dock the ship at Cádiz, after setting off from Southampton on 15th May. The decision came after 22 passengers and three of the crew were taken ill with the bug, and the captain wanted to prevent it spreading. Those affected were kept in isolation and did not require hospital treatment. An official team of cleaners entered the boat and disinfected it while the passengers were away. Subsequently, everyone was allowed back on board and the luxury liner continued on its voyage to Lisbon. | |
